...how far back would you go and what would you say?
here's mine! I wrote it to my dumbass high-school self. Specifically, my reaction to the 9/11 attacks could've gone a different direction if I hadn't thought what I thought.
Dear 15-year-old self,
What is wrong with you, Chiara?!
There are terrorists attacking NYC and all you can think about is if the Backstreet Boys' private jet being one of the planes??? Your boys are fine. They're in Boston heading towards Toronto on their Black & Blue tour, safe and sound, dumbass! And you wonder why the boys in your German class are making fun of it, saying that they were, in fact, involved in the crash! You need to have some compassion, bc lives are definitely being lost and you're too self-absorbed in your fandoms to notice. And look at a map of the northeastern US and southeastern Canada, while you're at it!
Sincerely,
your way wiser 40-year-old self
well, fwiw, I did start to have compassion after a few days when I realized how extremely serious the ordeal was. But yeah, if I'd reacted differently, they wouldn't have had such a field day with it.
